My first topic in this forum. I start by kissing everyones ass. Below you find a Generic MapScript that contain useful data for veterans and newbies alike, and a couple of nice-to-have functions. Lots of commenting for guidance. Newbies should be able to learn a little by studying the code. At least after memorizing that f.... manual

-- These arrays contain game data neatly compiled for your convenience

arrTownTypeNames = {'Haven', 'Sylvan', 'Academy', 'Dungeon', 'Necropolis', 'Inferno'};

-- FUNCTIONS
-- **********
-- The function includes debug print commands
-- fnGetHeroData takes a hero's InternalName as argument
-- and returns an array of:{heroID, internalname, gamename, typeID}
-- * heroID is just the index of the arrHeroInternalNames array
-- * internalname is the heroname the player never sees.
-- * gamename is the heroname the player sees.
-- * typeID is the ID for the hero's type and class (see above).
function fnGetHeroData(internalname)
local herodata;
local heroID;
local numberofheroes;
print('Gathering herodata for ' .. internalname .. '(internalname)');
numberofheroes = length(arrHeroInternalNames);
for heroID = 1, numberofheroes, 1 do
if internalname == arrHeroInternalNames[heroID] then
herodata = {heroID, internalname, arrHeroGameNames[heroID], arrHeroTypes[heroID]};
break;
end;
end;

-- Gets the herodata for the first hero
function fnGetFirstHero(player)
local heroes;
local herodata;
local hero;
heroes = GetPlayerHeroes(player);
herodata = fnGetHeroData(heroes[0]);
return herodata;
end;
-- The function fnHeroSetArmy is slightly complicated.
-- There are two arguments, each of which is an array.
-- * herodata corresponds to the result of the
-- fnGetHeroData function detailed above.
-- * amountarray is an array of the target amount of
-- creatures for each tier based on the race supplied
-- in the argument herodata.
--
-- The function does not return any values, but it is
-- not 100% robust. Errors can be provoked if not used.
-- correctly.
--
-- Basically the function iterates through all the armies
-- of the specified hero and removes/adds creatures
-- according to the amountarray. However, if a remove
-- operation would result in no armies left for the hero,
-- the game will leave one creature of the type last removed.
-- Therefore there is a built in tracking system that removes
-- any leftovers. In theory this should never happen more than
-- once for each function call, and the rest should never be
-- more that 1 unit of the creature.
